Bushfire Bucks Poem by John Sensele

Insanity is that bushfire
That burns normal neurons
Unleashing ubris and unbidden mire
To singe sanity and sully cerebral neutrons

When incoherence and adherence
To illusions and delusions
Metamorphose a savannah of common sense
Into an inferno whose poisons

Consume cognition and cohesion
When the bushfire burns browsing bushbucks
Whose adhesion
To sane sums and hums in slums steals bucks

From calm collaboration and cooperation
Conspiring concomitantly to create
Embers whose members in September steer a promotion
That rejects effects and prospects to preempt a bushfire debate before it's too late.
